Chapter 62
Leo Three weeks
That's how long it's been since we last heard from Emma. We knew going in that there was a chance we would lose contact with her, but it hasn't stopped Jayden and me from trying everything we can to reach her. Her tracker went out a week ago and that had been our backup plan in case communication was impossible. We are completely cut off from her and it's making us crazy. *)
None of us have had a straight head since and there has been more than one death by our hands recently. We were trained to be the killers we are today but we had started to take smaller crew business when Emma came into our lives. She was the light... the buffer that kept us human. Now our monsters are raging wild and we are leaving blood in our wake
Devaro has been hell-bent on sending Zane a message and that has meant a lot of hunting for us. Zane seems to be getting sloppy and we have managed to even the playing field by taking out a good number of his supply of weapons. It has me wondering what's been keeping him busy, and I pray Emma has nothing to do with it
I know she is working an angle but I'm scared to think of what that means. We trusted her, and damn we loved her more than anything
Would her love for us be enough to fight Zane off? How far was she
Chapter 62
going with the undercover thing?
The guys were spiraling the longer Emma was gone, and when we saw her on TV recently things only got worse. Her smile was forced still and there was a dead look in her eye that made me feel sick to my stomach
I needed her back with us, and it was killing me. I keep thinking about how badly I had hurt her in the past, and how much I wish I had told her all those years ago how much I loved her
Sure I had hooked up with a few desperate girls who thought it was a status break to be with one of The Dark Angels, but I didn't feel a thing for them. I would see Emma and my heart would ache for her. I knew even then that she is the only girl I would ever love, and yet I never told her. Even now I didn't say everything I needed to say to her. 1 am a coward in that way I guess
"Leo! Get your ass down here now!" Asher calls out to me from
downstairs
His aggravated tone was starting to grate on me. We were all on edge and it wouldn't be long before we started after each other
I dragged myself from my desk and made my way into the living room where Asher had taken to sleeping recently. He keeps the TV on all the time now waiting to see if Emma appears again
I guess his waiting paid off because there she was
"There has been news that you are taking over as VP of Dalton
Chapter 62
Industries. Is that true?" I reporter asks Emma
Emma's beautiful smile spread at the question. "It is true. Zane has been trying to convince me for some time now and I couldn't refuse. I'm honored by the chance to help the company in any way I can."
Just hearing her voice was enough to get my heart racing. God, I miss her
"Have you guys set a date for the wedding?" The reporter asked
Emma laughed. "Actually we are thinking early summer." \')
What?
"Like hell!" Asher growled out. "What is she doing?"
I shrugged, I was at a loss for words. Emma hadn't told us exactly how she planned on getting what we needed from Zane, but this seemed too far
"That bastard better not have laid a hand on her or I will kill him with my own hands," Asher says jumping to his feet and starting to pace
The front door slams open suddenly and Logan stones in with fury in his eyes. "You won't believe what we just found." \*)
A few minutes later we are all gathered around Jayden's new laptop. A video from one of our stock houses starts to play and we watch as Zane's men move in guns blazing and taking out ten of our guys easily

"Well, at least we got video proof, that's a first," I say
"That's not what we want to show you. It's here..." Logan says pulling our attention back to the screen
Zane's men all wore masks but someone stops and turns their face to the camera. They pull their ask off and I swear we all stop breathing
Emma is looking directly at the camera and for a split second, I think maybe she is going to give us some sort of signal or sign but instead her lips square into a smirk before she lifts her hand and blows a kiss at the camera. The with her other hand she reaches behind her back and pulls out a gun. She lifts it to the camera and shoots. \"°
The room falls quiet as all of our focus is on the static playing now that the video has cut off
"This has to be part of her plan," I say not letting what I saw change anything I knew about Emma
"Come on man you saw it yourself. She gone. I don't even recognize her
Did you see her? She was enjoying it." Logan says and I could hear the disbelief in his voiceNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
I shake my head. "No. Emma would never willingly work with that guy
She must have a reason." )
"Come on! She's gone, man. This is over!" Logan growls out and storms off
Chapter 62
I look to Asher and see his hands clenched together in front of him while he rests his elbows on his knees. His face looks blank and that is never a good sign. He is always calm before shit was about to hit the
fan. He and Jayden were alike in that way
"We need to move now," Asher says suddenly. "We can't wait for whatever Emma had planned. If she is with him now, we can't wait."

"What? We would be going in blind just like before." I remind him
"So what? We are exactly where we were before Emma. We need to let her go and do this our way." His words hit me like a bullet
We're they serious? They are willing to give up on her that easy? >)
"What the hell is your problem Asher? That's our girl you're talking about!" I yell jumping to my feet
He looks up at me with that same emotionless look. "Yeah, and she chose her side."
"You don't know that! We have no idea what's going on. She could have been forced into it." I offer as an excuse
"You saw the same video I did. She wasn't forced. She smiled like she was enjoying it. Emma is gone." Asher says firmly. \.*
I scoff. "I can't believe I really thought you guys had changed. I was willing to share Emma with you idiots because I thought you really

cared about her. Then with one video, you're ready to write her off just like that. Well, I won't. I know Emma and there is more going on, I know it."
"Don't tell me what I feel. She is the only girl I have ever loved. The only one. But this is a war, and if she has chosen Zane then she is against us Leo it's simple as that." Asher says back way too calmly
I tun to Jayden. "Do you agree with him?" (+
Jayden doesn't react to my question right away. "Jay!"
His head moves until he is looking at me. "I don't know what to believe."
He stands and leaves too. This is crazy! Was I the only one that still cared about Emma?
It didn't matter what he did, I loved her. She could hold a gun to me and I would tell her a hundred times. She could pull the trigger and I will be sure it's the last thing I say. I wasn't going to let her go, not again
Something was going on and I need to find out what it is before these idiots make a mistake they couldn't take back. \'
